About Paraformaldehyde

Paraformaldehyde (CAS 30525-89-4) is a molecular biology reagent offered by Vaqora Chemicals in Synthesis grade with a typical assay of 95%. With the molecular formula (CH2O)n, it has a molar mass of 30.03 g/mol. It is also known as Polyoxymethylene.

In its supplied form it is a white crystalline powder. Key physical data: a melting point of 120-170 °C and a density of 0.88 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep the container tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry area. Good laboratory practice and suitable PPE are recommended during handling.

It is commonly used for electrophoresis, DNA/RNA workflows, protein analysis and biological staining. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and diagnostics and biotechnology.

We offer Paraformaldehyde in 500 g, 5 kg and 4 x 25 kg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
